Power push pole

Abstract

A power push pole ( 1 ) having an elongated pole with a proximal end ( 13 ) and a distal end ( 14 ) wherein at least one drive wheel ( 3 ) with extending members ( 4 ) is located at the distal end ( 14 ) of the pole ( 1 ). An electric motor ( 8 ) is preferably located adjacent to the wheel ( 3 ) and is operable via at least one control ( 6 ) located on the proximal end ( 13 ) of the pole ( 1 ). Alternate embodiments of the invention include the use of dual wheels ( 3 ) for added stability, interchangeable extending members ( 4 ) and drive wheels ( 3 ) to accommodate varying ground textures, speed controls and forward/reverse controls. In addition, the power push pole ( 1 ) may be secured to a boat ( 11 ) via a fastener, such as a bracket ( 5 ).

       6 . The power push pole of  claim 4  wherein: 
 said fastening means is a bracket.    
   
   
       7 . The power push pole of  claim 1  wherein: 
 said control turns said motor on and off.    
   
   
       8 . The power push pole of  claim 1  wherein: 
 said control provides for a forward rotation of said at least one drive wheel.    
   
   
       9 . The power push pole of  claim 1  wherein: 
 said control provides for a reverse rotation of said at least one drive wheel.    
   
   
       10 . The power push pole of  claim 1  wherein: 
 said control provides for a predetermined speed of said at least one drive wheel.    
   
   
       11 . The power push pole of  claim 10  wherein: 
 said predetermined speed is slow.    
   
   
       12 . The power push pole of  claim 10  wherein: 
 said predetermined speed is fast.    
   
   
       13 . The power push pole of  claim 8  wherein: 
 said control provides for a reverse rotation of said at least one drive wheel.    
   
   
       14 . The power push pole of  claim 13  wherein: 
 said control provides for a predetermined speed of said at least one drive wheel.    
   
   
       15 . A power push pole comprising: 
 an elongated handle having a proximal end and a distal end;    at least one motor secured to said pole distal end;    at least one drive wheel connected to said at least one motor;    at least one control located on said elongated pole;    wherein said at least one control is in electrical connection with said at least one motor;    said drive wheel having a plurality of extending members;    wherein said plurality of extending members are spikes;    a fastening means for attaching said power push pole to a boat;    said fastening means is a bracket that is attachable to said handle;    said control turns said motor on and off;    said control provides for a forward rotation of said at least one drive wheel;    said control provides for a reverse rotation of said at least one drive wheel; and    said control provides for a predetermined speed of said at least one drive wheel.    
   
   
       16 . A method for using a power push pole comprising an elongated handle having a proximal end and a distal end; at least one motor secured to said pole distal end; at least one drive wheel connected to said at least one motor; at least one control located on said elongated pole; wherein said at least one control is in electrical connection with said at least one motor; and said drive wheel having a plurality of extending members, said method comprising the steps of: 
 a. placing said at least one drive wheel in a body of water such that said plurality of extending members are abutting a ground surface of the body of water; and    b. turning on said motor via said control.    
   
   
       17 . The method for using a power push pole of  claim 16  further comprising steps prior to step a of: 
 attaching a fastening means to said pole; and    securing said fastening means to a side of a boat.
